Same as advised by Dr Junaid Mushtaq. you can start applying Fusidin cream for local applications. daily dressing cleansing with normal saline and pyodine is required. If she develops fever then oral antibiotic might be required.

You can continue with the feedings. Just keep cleaning the pus with pyodine and lastly apply fusidin. Oral augmentin is ok. You can continue with this.
